Boat owner

Here's one that's both funny and probably true


The Newfoundland Department of Employment believed a boat owner wasn't paying proper wages to his help.
An agent was sent to the fishing village of Burin to investigate the boat owner.

GOVT AGENT: "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them".

Boat Owner: "Well, there's Clarence, my hired hand. He's been with me for 3 years.

I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board.

Then there's the mentally challenged guy.

He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of the work around here.

He makes about $10 per week, and pays his own room and board.

I buy him a bottle of Lamb's rum and a dozen Labatt Lite every Saturday night so he can cope with life.

Also, he gets to sleep with my wife occasionally".

GOVT AGENT: "That's the guy I want to talk to - the mentally challenged one".

Boat Owner: "That'll be me. What'd you want to know?"
